In theory you could make a 3-column grid on home page; use the custom grid option in creating a new “row”

[side][——-col——-][side]

create two custom home sidebars to put widgets into.

TIP: you can create new “page” like homepage2 to experiment and preview without impacting the live home page.

At least that’s what I do 🙂

Are you asking how to create another sidebar or how to show it on a page?

2 completely different questions..

To add a sidebar, goto the Theme Panel —> Template Settings

Then when in that tab click on Archive Template and then you find the words

CUSTOM SIDEBAR + POSITION
Sidebar position and custom sidebars

The box that says Default Sidebar, click on it and and a drop-down menu should pop up, In that drop-down menu it will display a text box with the words Create a new sidebar, In that box type SidebarB and press enter.

Then goto widgets and bam you have another sidebar you customize etc.

Hi,


@shoutershub
You can try Chris solution, something like this: http://screencast.com/t/ccFZWQ8qpCzi
Feel free to try and split the row for your necessity.
Also from Widgetised sidebar block setting you can set sidebar to display: http://screencast.com/t/zJ2t6B3R

Also if you want to create a custom sidebar you can do this from page edit(only for that page): http://screencast.com/t/7GYe7FAeIdY or from Theme Panel > Template Setting: http://screencast.com/t/4XEMh0VjTo
After that you can add widgets to that custom sidebar: http://screencast.com/t/3pJB6XeQhttp://screencast.com/t/uofLv0CWTD
And show it like above in a Widgetised block.

Hope this helps!

The site doesn’t have a 3 column layout by default, as far as I know, nor do I recall seeing that in the theme demos, so it looks like you’re asking it do something it’s not designed to do out of the box.

However, as many have already mentioned, *you* can setup the home page using the Visual Composer to create three columns using the column creator, which has already been shown to you as in this example
http://screencast.com/t/ccFZWQ8qpCzi

As in the example site you show, it’s basically one row, with three columns as in my original example of

[ 1/4 ] [ 1/2 ] [ 1/4 ]

widget sidebar + main column w/story loop + widget sidebar

If that makes no sense to you, and you’re unable to use the tools which are fairly easy to use, you might need to hire a developer.

Hi,


@shoutershub
You can’t add 2 sidebars to the Latest Articles if you use Page with Latest Articles.
But you can use this solution:
-set page template to Default and split the row like I said above: http://screencast.com/t/jDQQtAI9
-use a block with pagination to display Latest Articles: http://screencast.com/t/eNra5Ii2ghttp://screencast.com/t/lMr0eIG40tjzhttp://screencast.com/t/gwNnhhxccqQ

Result: http://screencast.com/t/dk6l0aG36

Hope this helps!
